Abstract

This conceptual review delves into the dynamics of the African workforce, influenced by trends such as remote work, multigenerational employees, and the growing importance of employee mental health support. The adoption of remote work in Africa presents both challenges and opportunities. Limited access to reliable internet infrastructure and disparities in digital inclusion are hurdles, yet it brings benefits such as increased job opportunities and better work-life balance. The multigenerational workforce in Africa, composed of various generations, can lead to communication barriers and differing expectations, but it also offers potential for innovation and creativity. Recognizing the significance of mental health in the African context, organizations should prioritize support programs to boost employee well-being and productivity. The review discusses emerging trends like clean technology, gender inclusivity, international business opportunities, global marketing strategies, and global best practices in human resource management. The methodology involved a systematic literature search and analysis. This review, while acknowledging its knowledge cut-off date in September 2021, provides recommendations for enhancing digital infrastructure, promoting intergenerational understanding, implementing mental health support, embracing clean technology, fostering gender inclusivity, analyzing international business opportunities, implementing global marketing strategies, and incorporating global best practices in human resource management. By addressing these aspects, African organizations and policymakers can navigate these workforce transformations effectively.
